Moonlight

Υγρό φεγγαρόφωτο
  • Publisher: Kedros (to be published in a new edition)
  • ISBN: 9789600438932

A promethean story happening in our times, in a world in which all ancient myths are dead. The Prometheus of the novel, a student in mathematics, is the innocent one who must save the Sacred Chart, an archaic relic with symbols of genetic secrets, which will relieve the human being from suffering. Endangering his own life, Prometheus will salvage this precious relic, engraved with sacred symbols – secrets of the immortality of the gods. But this relic will become the target of ruthless interests. At last, Prometheus succeeds in salvaging the ancient knowledge and offering it to people. And people punish him. "Now you must find the courage born from ultimate despair, become addicted to chaos..." Liquid moonlight is a novel about fate and God, about the martyrdom of pain and the Inexplicable. A novel about "addiction to chaos" and social indolence. Ultimate despair as an obsession of existence. Or as an obsession of freedom.
